Pipeline
capacity rises
TEXAS Gulf Energy, Inc is expanding its capacity to provide
pipe and vessel fabrication services to its energy sector
clients by forming Texas Gulf Fabricators, Inc.
David Mathews, Texas Gulf Energy president and CEO,
commented, “The Gulf Coast has seen numerous recent
multi-billion dollar announcements of refinery, pipeline and
plant expansions which will require substantial fabrication
expertise and services. We have received many current
client enquiries requesting fabrication, and we believe it
provides a substantial opportunity for expansion of our
business. For example, in June, a current client and one
of the largest mid-Western refiners awarded Texas Gulf
Energy a fabrication contract based on the quality of our
other services being provided to them. We are currently
planning our facilities’ expansion, and further information will
be provided as soon as possible. We intend that Texas Gulf
Fabricators will become a major resource for dependable,
on-time delivery of vessel and piping fabrication services as
well as modular construction of skid mounted facilities to our
Fortune 500 customer base.”
